IV. DVLOADER SOFTWARE
The DVLOADER software is a WINDOWS-based program provided on a 3-1/2" diskette which
comes with the Programmable DV-II+ Viscometer.
IV.1 B.E.V.I.S. Overview
DVLOADER utilizes B.E.V.I.S. (Brookfield Engineering Viscometer Instruction Set), a script-
ing language that allows for the creation of programs to control the Programmable DV-II+
Viscometer. Programs are created on a PC, then loaded into the viscometer using the DVLoader
software. Some testing capabilities that are possible include the following:
•
Repeatedly run the same test program for quality control purposes.
•
Wait for a specific condition before continuing with the test (i.e. a torque value, a tempera-
ture value, a key press, etc.).
•
Run the viscometer at any of the speeds in the Custom Speed menu.
•
Display messages to the screen or an attached printer to aid the operator.
•
An internal clock that keeps time between each printed data line (this time is displayed as the
last parameter on each printed line). This provides a consistent time base for the collected
data.
